Having actually experienced COVID-19, and survived it despite a debilitating chronic respiratory condition, the sole proprietor of this business is in no hurry to take silly chances! This hasn't been easy! - For the sake of safety we were forced to withdraw all mobile crews from service back in March 2020.  We won't now be returning crews to the road before Monday the 7th of June 2021 AT THE VERY EARLIEST.  - This will of course be subject to SCOTLAND'S COVID-19 restrictions being eased to the point where this is actually possible.

Please note that for the time being (probably until early 2022) we will only be filming within a roughly 125 road-mile limit of Livingston, West Lothian, and will not be undertaking any work which requires an overnight stay.

We're happy to engage with scripting and planning activities now. We also continue to (remotely) provide research, post production and audit services for broadcast clients.

All initial enquiries to admin@caledoniantv.com

Please include a brief outline of your requirements, and well get back to you as quickly as we possibly can.

Respectfully - we do ask those involved in Telesales and email marketing really not to waste our time or theirs!  We're always very happy to hear from potential production partners and relevant service providers - but we're utterly weary of the constant stream of calls from 'accident claims', telecoms, insurance etc.  - In particular, we have absolutely NO interest in buying ad space in any paid directory or publication - and NO interest whatsoever in 'business finance', BITCOIN or 'investment opportunities! - Nobody here is a mug!

Our main telephone number is staffed on an ad-hoc basis (by the production staff) supported by a 24-hour answer service. In practice, staff are generally available able to deal with telephone enquiries for well over 80% of the working week - please remember that this is a part of our cost-cutting strategy which is designed to keep the end cost to you, the client, down.  Bona-fide clients and partners are provided with an unpublished business mobile number for their assigned project manager as well as a direct email address for them.

Our office telephone number is;

0131 202 6230

Please note that due to persistent
crank callers this number REJECTS calls from withheld numbers.

This landlline number also REJECTS calls from text services!

Standard Office Hours are 10:00am - 4:00pm Mon-Fri excluding Scottish public holidays.  For security reasons, should your call go to voicemail we ask that you leave us a UK LANDLINE number (not a mobile) that we can contact you at.
